my niece is now starting high school. i suppose it would be really mean of me to pointo ut when she was small she kept watching ‘high school musical" saying she wanted to lrearn all the songs so she’d be ready when she got there.
No sense playing too hard to get. At a John Denver concert many years ago, he came back for an encore and explained his theory about how long to stay off-stage between main act and encore: Go behind the curtain, and touch the wall, then return. He said he didn’t want to stay gone so long that people started leaving. On the one year anniversary of his death I was in Monterey, California, and went down to the bay where he touched his final wall, and sang a few of his songs, audience = one = me. I stayed quite a long time, but it started getting dark. Go home, said the man in the moon, go home.
Now, that could make an interesting strip or, perhaps TV special: The Peanuts kids a dozen years later, in high school. Charlie, Lucy, Pigpen, all resemble real people I knew in high school. And I knew Linus in college, too.
Lucy is most anti-girl to attend 2nd grade; she will improve on her aggressiveness as she ages and end up an old maid in a ricking chair…..if and when she ever ages.

Most sought after girl? That’s a real stretch!

Schroeder isn’t interested, Lucy. Ask Pig Pen.

That’s how I met my ex-husband in high school. He was hanging around the drinking fountain outside my English class every morning.

Maybe you should see how things develop in ten years, Schroeder.

One of my favorite strips ever. I’ve often used the end quote.

Good luck with that Lucy. You’re condemned to be six years old forever (and have been since 1952). Immortal but fixed in age forever….

Most sought after, huh? Given your personality, do you also intend to be the easiest girl in school too?
